    Sugar Ray Robinson got the greatest left hook of all time, in any weight for me

    Only saw Lausse in the clip against Fullmer but it looked good.
    Tony Sibson was a good left hooker. Don't know if he deserves a mention with some of the above mentioned but I think Frankie Lucas might agree.

    Valdez and Briscoe both had big left hook power. I'll throw out Jones Jr. as well.

    Jones Jr had the best MW left hook by all time, by some distance, if your talking about speed, accuracy, power, trebbling it. Benn was a great left hooker too
